Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 65.4/100, a mean average of 63.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.5.

Its a compilation full of great songs so what is not to like. Well, only one thing. Why a version of "Beth" with Eric Carr singing. He does it well but nowhere near as passionate as the original. The two New songs "Lets Put The X In Sex" and "You Make me Rock Hard" were good Paul Stanley songs in mode of most of his 80's work.
Why do you bother coconut? Anyway, this is a fun compilation of eighties Kiss tracks. On their individual albums some of these songs lose some of themselves, lost in a haze of a load of mediocre crap, here, the songs sound better as the quality of the whole record is better than their eighties studio efforts. Silly, disposable, but enjoyable.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
